TRADE     TRADE     TRADE

If anygody has wiffle balls, I'll trade you a pencil.  Meet me at locker 91.
-  Zeke P.

I will teach anyone how to make a really cool origami bird in exchange for three baseball, basketball or football cards. Meet me at my table during free time.
- John S.

I am trading home made book marks for small magnets.  Meet me at locker 116 of a morning or evening.  Tell me the design and it should be done the next school day.
- Emily S.

I am willing to trade a piece of candy for three pieces of loose leaf paper.  For more information about the trade meet me at locker 103, lunch or at playtime.
- Jamin W.

Do you need note cards?  Come to locker 124 at the end of the day.  You can get your hands on ten note cards for one basketball card that looks new!  Hope to do business with you soon!
- Lucas N.

If you like matchbox cars or hotwheels cars then I'm the guy for you.  Come see me at locker 94 with any kind of locker decoration.  There is only one car every day so you have to be the first.  Offer ends on the last day of school.
- Cameron C.




Who said the economy is in a slump?  The art of barter is alive and well at our elementary school.  These fifth graders publish a paper once a month.  There are pages full of kids trading products and skills for wanted items.  John was publisher for the last classified ads section this month.  The items above are just a small portion of the ads in the paper.  I think it's a pretty neat newspaper.  It is published online and available on the website for parents and students to see.  Isn't technology a wonderful thing(when it works)?


I wonder if there is a market for decorated easter cookies?  Wonder what they could get for a few of those?

Grant got in his car with his sunglasses on and the car trunk packed.  He looked to Grace and said "I'm backing out of the driveway now Grace.  Tell me bye!"  Then he said, "Love you.  I'll call you when I get there!"  She promptly ran over and kissed him and yelled BYE!

These two are so funny sometimes.  Yes, I know.  I am biased.
